Epcot: Spice Road Table restaurant coming soon in Morocco

The newest restaurant at Epcot is about to enter "soft opening" mode. Look for Spice Road Table to operate this weekend in the Morocco pavilion.

The eatery is actually built smack on the theme park's World Showcase Lagoon, which could make it a prime location for the nightly "IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth" fireworks and laser show. Disney World says there will be seating for 120 people on its terrace -- twice as many the 60 seats indoors.

A soft opening generally indicates a dry run for the restaurant and its staff. There could be limitations on its hours or menu.
